sl55 widebody - built viper - ls1 turbo 350z
My prior designs sl55 took home the cake
Attended import faceoff this past weekend, the largest yearly car show here in arizona, and managed to win best exotic in a sea of widebody lambo's, gtr's and porsches. Goes to show how much presence this car really has.

Maybe i shouldnt sell this car

Love the color, I'm wrapping mine once the widebody is done in satin chrome. Can you post a pic of the rear of the car and where did you find your exhaust tips? I've hunted for a torched set forever now and can't find any I like.

I have an sl550 hood modified for the kit. I like the look of this hood vs the black series hood. The trunk is just a riveted, molded wingas opposed to being2 seperste pieces.

Get rid of her now. If she is your girlfriend and gets pissed off when you bring a car home, it won't get any better.
